Test Release Notes - Nov 20 '09 Discussion

[ukebec]

Exhausted today. I ended up being on test until after 2am, and I can't begin to guess how many reports I made.

The facial and body construct of the female avatars has been messed with again creating new issues. Right eye of the avatar is smaller with a droopy eyelid, eye tattoo now blotchy, mouth now permanently partly open showing some teeth, bizarre protruding collarbones on females wearing vests.

Glitching under galleon stairs is as easy and walking into them.

Number of ham tonics in possession randomly jumps up and down on icon, lower right of screen.

Still sailing issues with leaving an island and seeing nothing but open sea in all directions...no islands, no NPC ships (although the latter do show as red dots on your compass).

New sails added to the aft of skel ships look out of place and not consistent with the existing sails.

With all of the islands having been drawn closer to the imaginary center of the game (Devil's Anvil, ostensibly), and an undamaged sloop now achieving a top sailing speed of 15, sailing from island to island has become laughable.

Nearly impossible to set sail from any island without being immediately under attack from an NPC ship: it appears there are the same number of NPC ships on the water as before, squeezed into the now seriously smaller space of the reduced sea size.

It goes on and on. With 4 days until Thanksgiving I know they want to release this to open ASAP, but if they don't fix the sailing from SvS islands glitch that Basil noted, there are going to be hordes of SvS'ers screaming bloody murder I'm guessing.

Invasion in Tortuga in about 25 minutes.

UPDATE: Looks like there was not enough pirates defending the bride on the bottom server, it burned in the 5th wave.
